Ⅳ.阅读理解 A (2023·江西萍乡高二期末) The words “caring” and “empathetic(共情的)” aren’t ones normally associated with technology.Yearsley，an Australian enterpriser who is expert in artificial intelligence (AI)，is trying to change that. Yearsley is the founder of Akin，a robotics startup that currently uses a tablet-based system to help users manage the tasks related to home life，whether that’s planning meals or reminding you to pay your cellphone bill.Current home devices made by Google or Amazon or Apple use predictive AI to track patterns，strengthen behaviors and manipulate(操控) buying decisions，some of which，she assumes，are questionable or just unhealthy. In contrast，the AI that she is developing will be designed to run the human home，encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk，refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends.“It’s the hardest AI I have ever built for it’s a complex system，” Yearsley says. Yearsley began developing the Akin technology in 2017，when she realized the need to better manage the home is hugely ignored.Besides，she realized that women unequally bear the burden of household work.A United Nations report estimates that women do 2.6 times the amount of unpaid care and domestic work that men do，or close to 30 hours per week in the U．S.alone. While Yearsley pictures an army of robots someday helping with routine homemade tasks，the first display for Akin will take time and money.Akin has received some early seed money from a handful of investors，and was recently selected as a finalist for tech giant LG Nova’s Mission for the Future program，an annual challenge that seeks to identify businesses having potential to improve life and lead society into the future. 语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。机器人初创公司Akin的创始人Yearsley正在开发的人工智能系统将为用户带来体贴和人性化的家庭管理服务，使“关怀”和“同理心”不再与技术无关。 1．What might the Akin’s AI system suggest? A．Consuming more drinks to enjoy yourself. B．Staying up late working to make more money. C．Spending more time staying with your family. D．Purchasing products that may attract you. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知，Akin的人工智能系统被设计用来管理人类的家庭，鼓励健康的决定，比如晚上散步，给冰箱加满食物，支持与朋友共进午餐或庆祝生日等社交互动。所以它可能会建议与家人一起度过更多时间。故选C。 2．What made Yearsley develop the Akin’s AI system? A．The high cost of current home devices. B．Heavy burden of housewives. C．Financial support from investors. D．Akin’s becoming a finalist for a program. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段前两句可知，Yearsley的AI系统研发的因素之一就是家庭主妇沉重的家务负担。故选B。 3．What can be used to describe the Akin’s AI system? A．Popular and promising. B．Stable and secure. C．Thoughtful and innovative. D．Mature and ideal. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，由谷歌等生产的家用设备有些存在一些问题，有些是不健康的。结合第一段和第三段可知，Akin公司的人工智能系统将为用户带来体贴和人性化的家庭管理服务。由此可推断，Akin公司的人工智能系统是考虑周到且新颖的。故选C。 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To introduce a futuristic AI system. B．To compare two companies’ AI systems. C．To call on people to care about housewives. D．To seek support from an AI expert. 答案　A 解析　写作意图题。结合全文及最后一句可知，Akin公司已经从一些投资者那里获得了一些早期种子资金，最近还入选了科技巨头LG Nova的“未来使命”项目的决赛，该项目旨在寻找有潜力改善生活、引领社会走向未来的企业。故本文的目的是介绍Akin公司的一套未来人工智能系统。故选A。 B To solve the problem of tiny plastics polluting waterways，chemists in the Czech Republic are thinking small.Their brainchild is a new microrobot which is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil.When sunlight hits them，they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction.When they find a piece of plastic，they stick to it and start to break it down. Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University led the project.A decade ago，he chose to focus on the problem posed by microplastics.They’re everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains.They’ve turned up in drinking water.Some studies estimate that billions of pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters.The plastic has many sources，from shopping bags to washing and cleaning wipes. In lab experiments，the star-shaped swimmers stuck onto each of four different types of plastic.And after a week exposed to light，the robots had reduced the weight of the plastics.It wasn’t much—only by percent.But that was an indication that they were breaking the plastic down.They also caused the surface of the plastic to change from smooth to rough.That’s another sign that the robots were degrading (分解) it.The new study is a proof of concept type.That means it shows something can be done successfully. In fact，Pumera says they still have a long way to go.There are many types of plastics.And even these microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading them all.The researchers also have not yet shown how safe this system is for the environment，although Pumera says that’s their next goal.The first real-world test will be in a wastewater-treatment plant.“Indeed，” says one researcher，“we’ll need a lot of testing to show that they’re safe in open waterways，such as at sea.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了捷克科学家为了应对日渐严重的微塑料污染问题发明的微型机器人。 5．What does the underlined word “brainchild” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．Idea. B．Hope. C．Project. D．Routine. 答案　A 解析　词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句可知，捷克共和国的化学家们正在想办法解决微小塑料污染水道的问题，画线词承接前文，所以推知画线词所在句指化学家们的主意是用一种新的微型机器人，因此画线词的含义为“主意”。故选A。 6．What does the author focus on in paragraph 2? A．The purpose of Pumera’s project. B．The preciousness of drinking water. C．The seriousness of plastic pollution. D．The working principle of the microrobots. 答案　C 解析　段落大意题。通读第二段内容尤其是第三、四两句可知，本段讲述微塑料分布广泛，甚至出现在饮用水当中，所以C项“塑料污染的严重性”可概括段意。故选C。 7．What shows the effectiveness of the microrobots in lab experiments? A．The weight loss of the plastics. B．The disappearance of the plastics. C．The shape change of the microrobots. D．The improvement in the quality of water. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句和第四句可知，在实验室测试中，一周以后塑料的重量减轻，这说明微型机器人正在分解塑料，即塑料的重量损失证明了微型机器人的有效性。故选A。 8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Ways to Obtain Cleaner Drinking Water B．Microrobots Invented to Treat Wastewater C．New Hope for the Solution to Plastic Pollution D．Technology Widely Applied in Environmental Protection 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了捷克科学家为了应对日渐严重的微塑料污染问题而发明的微型机器人。C项“解决塑料污染的新希望”可概括文章主旨，适合作文章标题。故选C。 Ⅴ.七选五 Many people treat “life” as something that happens to them.They think they are the victims.When things go wrong，they think it’s someone else’s fault.However，there are those who are clear on their goals. 1 So how can you live a life by design instead of by default(默认)? Set goals and actually achieve them. 2 “New Year’s Resolutions” are the worst (or best) example of this.It’s easy to set goals，but very few people follow through with them to the end.People who live by design practice the habit of setting goals and actually achieving them.This constant practice is what allows them to set bigger and bigger goals and see them through to completion. Surround yourself with people you want to be like. Choose your friends carefully.As they say，“ 3 ” Make sure that the individuals who occupy your life and time share your values.Ideally，these people should even be a little bit ahead of you，forcing you to stretch and continue to grow in the direction you’d like to go. Don’t be afraid to go your own way. When you go your own way，everyone will tell you that you’re wrong at first. 4 They will see the life you’ve built for yourself.And they will ask you how you did it. 　5　 In order to get to where you know you can go，you have to say “no” a hundred times more than you say the word “yes”．You must be faithful to yourself and your goal.And the only way to do so is to have a strong sense of self-awareness and discipline. A．Practice discipline. B．Everybody sets goals. C．Don’t go out with others. D．Some people always stick to goals. E．You are a reflection of those who you spend the most time with. F．But when they find actually they are wrong，they will all come back around. G．When something goes wrong，they are the first to admit where they went wrong. 1．答案　G 解析　根据上文“However，there are those who are clear on their goals.”可知，本句内容应进一步解释目标清晰的人的做法，故G项符合语境，且与上文的“When things go wrong，they think it’s someone else’s fault.”构成对比。故选G。 2．答案　B 解析　根据后文“It’s easy to set goals，but very few people follow through with them to the end.”可知，此处应讲述的是目标的设定很常见。故B选项“每个人都设定目标”符合语境，故选B。 3．答案　E 解析　根据小标题和后文“Make sure that the individuals who occupy your life and time share your values.”可知，本段讲述认真选择身边的朋友，空处应表达认真择友的原因，故E选项“你是那些和你相处时间最长的人的反映”符合语境，故选E。 4．答案　F 解析　根据前文“everyone will tell you that you’re wrong at first”以及后文“And they will ask you how you did it.”可知，空格处与前文存在转折关系，故F选项“但是当他们发现是自己错了的时候，他们都会改变看法的”符合语境，故选F。 5．答案　A 解析　空格处是本段的主题句，应为祈使句且概括本段主旨。根据本段内容特别是最后一句可知，本段主要强调了要坚持奉行自己的原则。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
